Summary: Passionate, poignant, romantic
Review: Actually 4 1/2 stars but I'm rounding up based on Trevor alone! I adored him - the height of arrogance, he's also dangerous, wild, darkly charming, extremely intelligent, brave and oozing sex appeal and passion. He fairly leapt off the page for me.Counter that with the cool, restrained passion of Nell - restrained until she meets Trevor, that is. These two are perfect for each other. Both have experienced deep unhappiness in their lives, and carry with them the scars to prove it - his visible, her's under the surface, but no less painful. He tries to ignore and suppress his painful past, she is more likely to confront it. Which makes for some difficulties in the relationship until they learn to truly trust one another. I loved Trevor's character from his introduction in the wonderful Entwined and his outrageous flirting with Isobel. He's one of those guys that you wish you could dislike, but you just can't help but fall for. And so does Nell. I found their romance and relationship believable, poignant and I cared what happened to them. A nice end to an uneven trilogy. Enwtined was wonderful - the best in the series and one of the best stories I've ever read! Fallen was a dissappointment. I wanted to adore Gabriel and Maggie, but they didn't particularly move me at all. But with Moonlit, the author has bounced back. Though not to the standard of Enwtined, it still was an entertaining, passionate and poignant read. I look forward to Ms. Jensen's next effort. She could continue with some of the secondary characters from these books for future stories. How about Nathan's brother William or Maggie and Isobel's incorrigible sister Tessa?

Summary: A Truely Romantic Tale
Review: Emma Jensen's first book in her regency-era trilogy (Entwined) was wonderful and I didn't think that another could top it. The second one, Fallen, was a disappointment -- too convoluted and lacking the magic of Entwined. So it was with some hesitation that I started Moonlit. Happily, with Moonlit, Ms. Jensen is back on target. What I like about this book (and Entwined) is that the protagonists are well developed and a bit flawed. The heroes may be handsome and brave, but the are somewhat damaged (in both cases physically and mentally). The heroines are strong and attractive, but not necessarily beautiful. In Moonlit, the romance between Trevor, Viscount St. Wulfstan and Nell Nolan somehow seems real and poignent -- no small achievement in a cliche ridden genre. I've given this book 4 stars -- it would have been 5 stars but for the somewhat plodding assasination subplot -- that just seemed a bit contrived. For those who did like Entwined, the Marquess of Oriel and his bride make a brief but useful appearance. Ms. Jensen also carries on with the issues surrounding the returned Peninsular War veterens and their difficulties adjusting to "normal" life after their years as Wellington's spies. All around, a really good book!

Summary: The best of the series!
Review: I enjoyed both Entwined and Fallen, Jensen's two previous books about the infamous "Ten" spying group, but, for my money, Moonlit is the best of the bunch. The heroine and hero are both memorable, the plot is more complex and believeable than most Regency's, and the sex is hotter--and a bit more daring--than in the previous two. Kudos to Ms. Jensen for three solids reads!

Summary: Excellent
Review: I only read a few romance writers, and Emma Jensen is one of them. This is the third in her series (Entwined and then Fallen are the first two), and it's excellent. She writes very, very well and has characters that are realistic and likeable but not faultless. Most romances drive me crazy -- badly written and characters I want to shake sense into -- but I love Jensen's. (Her regencies are on my top 3 writers list, too.) Entwined was excellent, too, Fallen a little less good, but this is wonderful. Great writing, well-drawn characters, a poignant story and a decent element of suspense. I can't wait for her next one.

Summary: Easy read, touching and satisfying
Review: I read MOONLIT in about two days. Emma Jensen's writing style is smooth which made the book so much better. The main characters consist of Viscount Trevor St. Wulfstan, and Nell aka Mrs. Nolan. Some reviewers complained that the heroin was ugly. Jensen uses the term "plain" but she also says Nell's eyes more than make up for that, and I agree. This is a story about a relationship between two people who each have dark secrets. Jensen lets their relationship take center stage and I enjoyed reading how it developed. I did feel that some parts of the story were unnecessary. In the prologue, Nell's escapade into the forest (to wish into a mirror by the light of the moon for the face of her future husband) had no bearing on the overall story. Trevor's role with the British army is taken a little too lightly. But the tenderness that Jensen portrayed so well, and the personalities of the main characters, outweigh my few complaints. Although this isn't a hot and steamy romance, I still found it to be well worth my time.

Summary: After 30 pages when I had to put the book down.
Review: I thought I would like this book after reading the review for it in romantic times. Uggh. I know many readers will disagree with me, but I can't stand plain heroines. I don't read books for reality I read them to be swept away into another world, I want my Heroines pretty and my heroes handsome, I don't want them dowdy or plain. Okay so in reality a handsome man (although I assuming the male character was equally appalling due to his scar - although I don't find scars unnatractive on men - the author made it seem like he was quite ugly. Who really want to read about to ugly people. Not I. Along with all of that I just found it boring. I thought from the prologue that it was going to be good but I was sorely mistaken.

Summary: Truly moving romance in spite of weak mystery plot
Review: Mrs. Nolan (Nell) is not quite the courtesan she pretends to be. Trevor St. Wulfstan is not quite the wicked viscount he claims to be either. The two of them are incomprehensibly drawn together and bound in a marriage that might not be quite what either really wants, but seems preferable to a life apart. Having been an Emma Jensen fan for some time--I have been enjoying some of her earlier Regency novels lately--I waited to begin this book until I knew I had time to read it straight through, because her books always keep me turning the pages in eager anticipation of the satisfyingly happy ending. And this book did not disappoint. The only *tiny* criticism I would dare to make would be the weakness of Nell's plot for revenge--I was never completely clear on why this was so important to her in view of subsequent events--and also the assassination plot, that had nothing to do with Trevor's secret activities during the war. I'm not sure that it added anything to the story, since Nell didn't even know about it until it was over. But this book will definitely keep me hungry for others by this author. Keep up the good work!

Summary: ANOTHER WINNER!
Review: Somestimes trilogies fall flat after the first or second book. For instance, Nicole Jordan started out strong with the wonderful SEDUCTION, slid downhill slightly with PASSION and, in my opinion, fell flat with DESIRE. However, Ms. Jensen delivers in all three of her "men of the secret service" books. If you haven't read the first two books in this set, start with ENTWINED, then FALLEN and finally MOONLIT. Great reading. You will come to care for each and every character in her stories. The plots are tight, the heroines are intelligent, and the love scenes more than statisfying. Try Gaelen Foley's LORD OF FIRE while you're ordering. My first book by her and what a pleasant surprise. Love those stories heavy on seduction!

Summary: it's a keeper
Review: The characters ring true and have depth. The author's style is pleasant and the pacing and plot good. We have a heroine who isn't pretty and a hero who isn't wealthy; they both make all too human mistakes and within the confines of the romantic genre manage to grow and deserve a happy ending. Jensen's going to the top of my personal list.
